Sony launches their new 24.2-megapixel A9 mirrorless camera

This week Sony introduced the launch of their latest mirrorless camera, a full-frame beast called the Sony A9.

This new full-frame mirrorless camera features a massive 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor that is sure to satisfy any professional who is looking to grab a new mirrorless camera, we say professional not only because of the features that it includes but also because of the price tag of the Sony A9, which starts at a massive £4,500.

For that, you get a digital SLR camera that is capable of high-speed, blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20fpsiv.

It can also do 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per second, features a maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32,000 second, data speed processing at up to 20x faster than the previous Sony full-frame mirrorless camera which is thanks to Sony’s new BIONZ X processing engine and front-end LSI.

To top that off, the camera features a 35mm full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor, which claims to the be first of its kind in the world.

It also comes with 693 phase-detection AF points that cover 93% of the frame and comes alongside a new focusing system to make sure you are always shooting in focus, or at least to the capabilities of the camera.
